Court: Men punched UW-Oshkosh students in face unprompted, bragged about unconscious girl

OSHKOSH - Two Green Bay men appeared in court for the first time Wednesday since police say they assaulted four University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh students in a series of attacks in the early morning hours of Sept. 8.

Domonick D. Strope, 20, and Nasir J. Jackson, 18, are each charged with three counts of substantial battery and one count of theft as parties to a crime. Strope also has 20 felony bail-jumping charges.

Strope and Jackson were part of a group of three men who attacked the students about 1 a.m. as they were walking near Lincoln Avenue and McKinley Street, according to the criminal complaint. The three separate attacks took place over the course of about 30 minutes.

The third man has not been been charged as of now.

In the first attack, a male student told police he saw three men walking toward him on Lincoln Avenue. He crossed the street and cut through a grassy area, and he heard one of the men say, “Look at this guy trying to walk away from us.”

The man ran toward the student and punched him in the face, knocking the student to the ground. The man then hit the student three more times in the head, and the men ran off, according to the criminal complaint. He had a mild concussion after losing consciousness during the attack.

In the second case, another male student was walking on Lincoln Avenue and said “hi” to the group of men on the other side of the street.

The student “admitted that he was intoxicated and just being friendly when he said ‘Hi,’ however, the next thing he knew (he) was knocked to the ground and was getting hit and kicked by the group of males,” the criminal complaint reads.

The student later discovered his wallet was missing. He needed stitches for a cut around his eye.

In the third case, the group of men confronted a male and female student who were walking on Wisconsin Street, according to the criminal complaint. The men stopped the male student and asked him for his Snapchat account name. The student handed his phone to Jackson, who added the student as a friend with the username “Yo Boi Nasir.”

One of the men punched the student upon receiving his phone back, and then the three men started punching him from front and behind. One of the men then punched the female student in the face and knocked her unconscious.

The female student had brain bleeding, court documents state.

Police found Strope and Jackson through Snapchat. A detective sent a friend request to the “Yo Boi Nasir” account and saw Jackson posted a picture at 4:46 a.m. Sept. 8 with the caption “Aint got lie broke my fingers in osh no cap.”

(‘No cap’ is a slang term that means ‘for real’ or ‘not lying.’)

Police also said Jackson and Strope were bragging at a party around 2 a.m. that day about a girl passed out in the street, according to the criminal complaint.

Oshkosh police tracked down Jackson and Strope in Green Bay and, upon talking to Jackson about the assaults, arrested them both on Sept. 13.

Strope has nine other open cases against him, including four felonies, according to online court filings.

Strope’s bond is set at $100,000. A Winnebago County judge ordered Strope must maintain absolute sobriety and cannot leave the state.

Jackson’s bond is set at $5,000. A Winnebago County judge set a 7 p.m. curfew and ordered he cannot go to the UW-Oshkosh campus.
